(**Note:** It is not the same as the blade included with the newer [Zumo 32U4 Robot](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/170/zumo-32u4-oled-robot), and it is not intended for use with this version of the Zumo robot.) It is made of 0.036"-thick, laser-cut stainless steel, and it ships flat as shown in the product picture. The two tabs must be bent to an angle of approximately 70° before it can be mounted to the front of the Zumo chassis. Pololu recommend using a pair of [long-nose pliers](https://core-electronics.com.au/st-2-mini-long-nose-pliers.html) to bend the tabs: | \| [![](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J3953.250.jpg?184c7032eb200bc5813c9e17104dce43)](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J3953.1200.jpg?184c7032eb200bc5813c9e17104dce43) \| \|---\| \| Basic sumo blade for Zumo chassis, with mounting tabs bent. \| | \| [![](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J9838.250.jpg?c62a283eec47ad899ad84cc676293434)](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J9838.1200.jpg?c62a283eec47ad899ad84cc676293434) \| \|---\|---\| \| Basic sumo blade mounted on a Zumo chassis. \| | |---| **Warning:** Do not try to bend the tabs after mounting the blade to the Zumo chassis as this could crack the chassis’ acrylic mounting plate or the mounting tabs themselves.
